Third Trimester

It's been several months since I posted, but it's Christmas break, so I'm taking some time. I'm in my 27th week of pregnancy, and I'm happy to say that this may be the most uneventful pregnancy ever (knock on wood). Sorry, no pictures. #1) I'm not really a picture taker. #2) I don't really feel like documenting my bigness. However, I've only gained 5 lbs.

Post-graduate school life hasn't been boring. We worked all summer to buy a house and finally succeeded. I've been teaching in Paris, and it's an interesting experience . I have some really good kids, but it's taking me longer than I'd like to get used to living in a town of 26,000 people. One of the upsides is that we have a really great church family here, too.

Brian is substitute teaching and trying to find full-time work, and little Joseph is scheduled to make his appearance in about 3 months. Other than that, life is normal.

If I don't get to tell you personally, have a Merry Christmas!

This picture is more about Brian's crazy hair than my graduation:)

Erin Lycett and Starbucks...good times.

Aunt Sandra, Josh, Jennifer and Kaleigh, Brian and me at El Bronco's after graduation.

Oh, Flint, I miss you already.

That's right. The Master of Music was THE very last to be announced.

Amy and I were very proud in our pink and orange...a designer's nightmare color combo.

Amy was chosen to speak at our hooding ceremony.

My dear friends Lea, Brandon, Eleanor and Philip. We got ice cream from Bruster's the night before we left. Guess Eleanor wasn't happy with the flavor she got.

He's got a good "cheese" face.

Oh, little Eleanor. You kept me distracted many a church service.
